Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
In the Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories System (FIACS), all classroom verbal behavior is classified into a total of 10 categories. These 10 categories are divided into three main sections: Teacher Talk (7 categories), Pupil Talk (2 categories), and Silence or Confusion (1 category). The small spans of silence, pause, or confusion where communication cannot be understood by the observer are all grouped together into a single category, which is designated as Category 10.
